ABSTRACT
I would like to start by evoking Salman Rushdie’s statement; namely, that “I, too, am a translated African woman.” While I know that I am a translated subject, it sometimes shocks me when other people point it out. I recall one morning in Britain. I am sitting outside with some British and German students at St John’s College in Durham. We are chatting about various subjects. After a while, one of the German students asks, “Are you British?”
